Paw-some Fall Treats: 5 Recipes Your Dog Will Love

With the changing seasons, it's officially pumpkin season-meaning cozy treats for everyone-yes, for your pup! While the return of fall season means pumpkin spice and apple everything, bring a little bit of that flavor to your furry friend, too. Brew yourself up a pumpkin spice latte, light a maple-scented candle, and get prepared for baking up some seasonal treats fit for your pup!.

Just remember, with dog-safe ingredients, treats should only make up 10 percent of daily calories, Jenna Stregowski, RVT says, "which should keep your pup's diet in check." Okay, so here are five fall-inspired dog treat recipes your pup will be nuts for. From easy treats to homemade goodness, we have these five recipes for you ready to go.

1. Pumpkin Carrot Dog Cupcakes
   Nothing's more classic fall than baking tasty stuff that smells great and sharing the time with good people. Pumpkin carrot dog cupcakes can't avoid that. A mere handful of ingredients-using only easy-to-spot and familiar items such as pumpkin and carrots-makes a great taste treat for itself with the added vitamin A that promotes eye health in canines. Mix it all into one bowl. Mix wet ingredients, add them, put in oven. Don't sneak a few of the treats themselves as you bake!
2. Frozen Pumpkin Coconut Oil Dog Treats
   In any event, if it's still warm where you are, these frozen pumpkin coconut oil bites will knock your socks off! Preparation only takes 10 minutes to get started, so you'll mix peanut butter, coconut oil, canned pumpkin, cinnamon, and turmeric to freeze in your silicone molds (if they can be used in a double capacity as fall-themed-that would be pretty cool, too!). The frozen little balls are a refreshing crunchy snack full of good fats and antioxidants.
3. Pumpkin Dog Biscuits
   These pumpkin dog biscuits will be just the thing for that dog who just won't have enough of that delicious pumpkin flavor. Use by employing a canned pumpkin, coupled with wheat flour, ground flaxseed meal, an egg, some broth, and even a little honey with them. Use a cookie cutter in the small pumpkin shape to fulfill the festive need or just maybe bake up a big old batch your pup cannot ignore.
4. Sweet Potato Dog Treats
   Sweet potato casserole is probably the most divisive holiday dish of all for us, but dogs love the taste of sweet potatoes! Just peel some sweet potatoes, slice them into thin rounds, and bake them for three hours until dried. Let them cool completely. These are as easy as it gets, and you can keep them in the fridge for up to three weeks.
5. Cored and Peeled Apples
   Apples are wonderful in pies, but they make a fantastic, healthy treat for your dog-a high-fiber snack. Peeled, seeded, and cored, of course. Whatever the variety, apples are delicious when served as small, crispy pieces, fresh but low in calories. Feed them to him cautiously at first, so that you can gauge whether or not they will agree with his taste and tummy.

Try one of these recipes below, and we can't wait to see your pup enjoying them! Have a happy baking season ahead and a delicious fall ahead for you and your furry friend!
